This document provides instructions for configuring the Windows time service to synchronize with an external Network Time Protocol (NTP) server from the africa.pool.ntp.org pool and monitor the time service status. It includes commands to configure the NTP server, sync the time, check the configuration and source, and monitor the time service to ensure it is getting time from the external NTP server rather than the local computer clock.
